| Excise Deptt foils bid to smuggle willow clefts, 2 trucks seized | | |  Early Times Report
Jammu, Nov 6: Jammu and Kashmir Excise Department foiled a bid to smuggle willow clefts and seized two loaded trucks at Lakhanpur in Kathua district. The Excise department at Toll Post Lakhanpur this afternoon has thwarted a major smuggling bid when it seized two trucks carrying 9760 willow clefts moving into Punjab through illegal route. ''Two vehicles were seized by the active staff of the Toll Post Lakhanpur deployed at Nagri near Goondh Minor Toll Posts, when they tried to move outside the State through illicit route along Ujh river,'' an official here said. He said,''the willow clefts form raw material for manufacturing of cricket bats by local Industrial units and its export in raw form is not permissible in terms of J&K Willow (Prohibition on Export Movement Act 2000).'' The vehicles were being driven by Charan Dass and Ram Pal, both residents of Kathua district and adopted this route for smuggling of the clefts outside the State in order to bypass the toll barriers, he added."The vehicles along with the seized willow clefts have been handed over to the Forest Protection Force of Forest department for further investigation in the matter," he asserted.
